After winning the Qatar World Cup, Messi has become the undisputed third-generation king of football. After becoming the king of football this time, Messi also chose to leave the top five leagues and join Miami. However, after leaving Barcelona, Messi's relationship with Barcelona has remained quite close. After all, Messi himself has admitted that his career started at Barcelona, which holds great significance for him. During the recent 125th anniversary celebration of Barcelona, Messi even appeared and gave an interview expressing his gratitude to the club. This suggests that Messi indeed wants to reconcile with Barcelona, but it requires Laporta to make some concessions. This time, Spanish media reported that Messi might return. Because Messi will renew his contract with Inter Miami, and after renewing, he also wants to be loaned back to Barcelona during the off-season of the MLS to play for a period of time. For this loan, Messi will not ask for a salary from Barcelona. He mainly wants to return to Barcelona to see and train with the club to maintain his form for the 2026 Mexico-United States-Canada World Cup. The owner of Inter Miami, David Beckham, will also do a favor by allowing Messi to return to Barcelona on loan for a period of time to fulfill one of his career wishes without excessive interference. If Messi successfully returns to Barcelona, it will bring great attention to the club, and Barcelona will achieve the partnership between Messi and Ansu Fati. Messi can also guide his successor.

After Manchester United's thrilling 3-1 victory over Southampton, renowned sports commentator Huang Jianxiang provided a series of incisive and thought-provoking comments that struck at the heart of the match. Substitutions Prove Decisive, Turning Point in the Game Huang Jianxiang pointed out that the substitutions made during the game played a decisive role. When Menu was replaced by Collier, the team's defensive quality instantly improved. The frequent gaps in the backline were effectively filled, and Collier, with his excellent defensive awareness and decisive tackles, successfully defused multiple threatening attacks from Southampton. After Hojlund was substituted off and Zirkzee came on, Manchester United's transition offense became exceptionally smooth. Zirkzee, with his speed and strength, could quickly advance in counterattacks, creating more highly threatening offensive opportunities for the team, leaving the opponent's defense scrambling. Key Players Shine, Helping Team Overcome Deficit to Win Discussing key players in the game, Huang Jianxiang praised several players for their outstanding performances. He believed that the substitutions were a stroke of genius, especially Zirkzee, who greatly enriched Manchester United's attacking options upon entering the field, becoming a key factor in the team's comeback. Additionally, Cole's organizing role in midfield was crucial; his precise passing and excellent overall vision made Manchester United's attacking rhythm more orderly. Eriksen's clever passes created numerous excellent scoring opportunities for his teammates, with his imagination and precision causing significant trouble for the opponent's defense, becoming the core engine of the team's attack. Tactical Issues Highlighted, Back Three System Questioned Analyzing the game from an overall tactical perspective, Huang Jianxiang mercilessly pointed out that…

Despite Amorim's appointment not immediately returning Manchester United to the championship race, the Red Devils always manage to create surprises in strong matchups. In the midweek FA Cup third round elimination match, Manchester United eliminated their long-time rival Arsenal while playing with ten men for a long time. After a few days of rest, Manchester United welcomed the 21st round of the Premier League, hosting newly promoted Southampton at Old Trafford. The Saints can be considered the weakest team in the top five leagues, having only earned 6 points after 20 rounds, with no wins in the last 10 rounds, and long-term at the bottom of the league table, almost securing a relegation spot. Adding to this, in the last 16 encounters, Manchester United has maintained an unbeaten record with 9 wins and 7 draws, giving them a significant psychological advantage. In this match, Ugart scored an own goal, Anthony missed an open goal, and Diallo performed a hat-trick, resulting in a 3-1 victory that ended Manchester United's four-game winless streak! Despite the tight schedule, Amorim still fielded most of the main players and set up the usual 3421 formation, with Hoyerun as the center forward, B fee and Garnacho forming the double attacking midfield, Diallo and Mazravi flying on both wings in midfield, Ugart and Menu stationed in the middle, Martinez, Yueluo, and De Ligt forming the three central defenders, and Onana guarding the goal. After the game started, the home team Manchester United did not quickly take control, but it was the Saints who took the initiative first.…

Although Real Madrid has won two championship trophies since the arrival of Kylian Mbappe, the dominance of the "Galactic Battleship" has visibly declined. In the Spanish Super Cup final in the middle of the week, Real Madrid suffered a humiliating 2-5 defeat at the hands of their arch-rival Barcelona, which also plunged Carlo Ancelotti into a crisis of trust. After a few days of rest and recuperation, Real Madrid faced another test on this match day, hosting Celta Vigo in the round of 16 of the King's Cup at the Bernabeu Stadium. The focus of the fans was whether the "Galactic Battleship" could quickly recover. In this match, Mbappe created two goals on his own, with both sides drawing 2-2 in regular time. In extra time, Endrick scored twice and Valverde scored a stunning world-class goal, helping Real Madrid advance with a 5-2 victory. In the last 17 encounters between the two sides, Real Madrid has maintained an unbeaten record with 14 wins and 3 draws, giving them a clear psychological advantage. However, considering the tight schedule and another La Liga match in just two days, Ancelotti made some rotations in the lineup. In the 4-4-2 formation, Mbappe and Vinicius formed the double-pronged attack up front, while Modric, Diaz, Ceballos, and Chouameni, who performed poorly in the national derby, formed the midfield quartet. The backline consisted of Vazquez, Asensio, Rudiger, and Garcia, with Lunin guarding the goal. After the start of the game, Real Madrid did not quickly take the initiative, as Celta's counterattacks were quite fierce. In the 6th…

In the cold winter of the Premier League, 48-year-old Dutch legendary striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, wearing the temporary coach's uniform, led Leicester City to write a magnificent chapter from despair to rebirth on the stage of the FA Cup. This lion that once stood at the top of the Premier League is now struggling at the edge of the relegation zone, with the shadow of five consecutive defeats looming over the King Power Stadium, chilling countless fans. However, the charm of football often lies in its unpredictability and counterattacks in adversity. When Leicester City faced off against the mid-table Queens Park Rangers from the Championship, almost everyone thought it would be a mismatch. After all, QPR came with excellent results from the Championship, their morale high. While Leicester City, despite historically dominating the encounters, had their confidence worn down by recent consecutive defeats. Yet, in the world of football, miracles are never lacking. In the 8th minute of the match, Faqindo's precise pass was like a ray of sunshine piercing through the cold winter, breaking through the opponent's defense, and Justin's shot opened the door to victory for Leicester City. But this was just the beginning; Kolly's counterattack and Varane's world-class goal brought suspense back into the game. At a critical moment, 20-year-old Moroccan rising star Hanus stepped up, his two assists were like two sharp swords piercing through QPR's defense, and the goals from Mavididi and Faqindo gave Leicester City a glimpse of hope. However, a goal conceded during first-half stoppage time tilted the scales of victory again. But…

In the 19th round of the Turkish Super League, Fenerbahce turned the tide after conceding a goal just one minute into the game. They eventually won 3-2 against Konyaspor, securing all three points. This victory marks their fourth unbeaten match in the league and their fifth unbeaten match in recent competitions. Mourinho's consecutive victories have kept the championship suspense alive for Fenerbahce! In this match, Mourinho once again deployed his signature double-striker starting tactic, which he originally implemented during his time at Roma. During his tenure at Roma, Mourinho frequently used the double-striker tactic, accumulating top strikers like Abraham, Belotti, and Lukaku to lead the charge for the team. Under Mourinho's leadership, Roma was known for its solid defense, which is a stark contrast to the current Fenerbahce team. In his second year at Roma, seasoned fans will recall that when Mourinho's team took a 1-0 lead, the match was as good as over. This was one of the main reasons why Mourinho favored the double-striker tactic at the time! Now at Fenerbahce, Mourinho has reintroduced the double-striker tactic. In this match, En-Nesyri and Dzeko started together, leading the charge for Fenerbahce! In previous matches, only one of Fenerbahce's two strikers could start, but with En-Nesyri recently rediscovering his scoring touch, Mourinho has restarted the double-striker tactic at a crucial time when Fenerbahce needs consecutive league victories to catch up in points. The intention is clear: the team must score goals to secure all three points, and the double-striker system is undoubtedly the best approach for Mourinho's team to conquer…

Completed! Bayern's First Signing On January 16th, Beijing time, German media outlet Sky Sports Deutschland exclusively reported that Hoffenheim midfielder Tom Bischof has decided to join Bayern Munich on a free transfer, with a medical scheduled for next week. What a plot twist! After a 5-0 victory over Hoffenheim, he's joining Bayern. What's going on here? Very impressive indeed! Tom Bischof, the 19-year-old German midfielder, has made 14 starts and one substitute appearance in the Bundesliga this season, contributing two goals and one assist in 1169 minutes of play. His defensive statistics are outstanding, averaging 3.5 tackles, 1.1 interceptions, and 1.6 clearances per game. This performance naturally attracted the attention of many German clubs, with RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt making significant efforts recently, both hoping to poach him. Unfortunately for them, the player's first choice was to join Bayern, which turned out to be a mutual decision. Bischof still has half a year left on his contract with Hoffenheim, and according to regulations, he can negotiate with potential new clubs. Bayern has now signed a pre-contract agreement with him, pending a medical examination, after which he will officially join the club in the summer. In terms of overall quality, the player is not an immediate contributor but is considered a promising prospect, similar to winning a lottery ticket. However, signing him for free is clearly a great deal. He is positioned as the fourth-choice midfielder, intended to replace Goretzka. Firstly, it's cost-effective. Secondly, if he performs well, it's a huge gain; if not, there's no loss. From a team-building…

On January 17th, in the early hours of Beijing time, the 21st round of the Premier League continued. Manchester United, with a total value of 800 million euros, hosted Southampton, who were at the bottom of the table and had not won in 10 rounds. In the first 10 minutes of the game, neither team had a shot on goal, and Manchester United could not gain an advantage on the field. The first two shots of both teams came from Southampton, until the 16th minute when Garnacho completed the first shot for the Red Devils. After 30 minutes of the first half, although Manchester United had more shots (6-5), they had no shots on target (0-4), and Southampton even had the upper hand over Manchester United. If it weren't for Onana's heroic performance, Manchester United would have conceded a goal earlier. In the 43rd minute, Ugaite's own goal helped Southampton take the lead. Soon after the start of the second half, Sulemana and Anthony missed good opportunities. In the 82nd minute, Amad finally equalized for Manchester United. In the 90th minute, Amad scored the winning goal, and in the 94th minute, he completed his hat-trick. In the end, Manchester United staged a stunning comeback at home, defeating the bottom-placed Southampton 3-1. This victory ended their four-game winless streak in the league and propelled them to 12th place in the standings. [Highlights] In the 12th minute, Sulemana broke into the penalty area with a threatening shot, but Onana quickly dived to save it. In the 16th minute, Fernandes dribbled through without…

In a Serie A match that concluded on January 16th, Beijing time, reigning champions Inter Milan were held to a draw by Bologna, missing out on a victory. The match at the San Siro saw Inter leading 2-1 at halftime before being pegged back in the second half, resulting in a 2-2 draw. While Inter fans were disappointed with the outcome, Argentine supporters were generally content. In 22 matches, an Argentine prodigy has scored 13 goals, shining in Serie A and potentially becoming a new ally for Messi in the 2026 World Cup. During the match, two of the four goals were scored by Argentine players. Santiago Castro opened the scoring for Bologna, while Denzel Dumfries and Lautaro Martinez's goals helped Inter take the lead. However, Holm's goal allowed Bologna to equalize against Inter. Lautaro scored after receiving a cross from Dimarco, pushing the ball into the net from close range. Lautaro had previously gone eight games without scoring for Inter this season but has now scored three goals in his last five matches, gradually finding his form as the top scorer in Serie A. Lautaro's compatriot, Castro, also scored a beautiful goal during the match. In the 15th minute, Bologna midfielder Moro played a shot-pass from outside the box, lofting the ball into the penalty area. Castro, while holding off De Vrij with his back to the goal, deflected the ball into the net without looking at the goal. This goal showcased Castro's abilities, with his strength, awareness, and shooting skills all on display, making experienced Serie A defender…

On the evening of January 16th, Beijing time, according to reports from Spanish media "AS", Juanpe, the 33-year-old central defender of Spanish La Liga team Girona, has received an offer from a Chinese Super League team. The interested party is none other than Beijing Guoan, coached by Spanish coach Quique Setién. Due to the expiration of Juanpe's contract with Girona this summer and his current loss of the starting position, if Girona introduces Barcelona central defender Eric García, his playing time will be even less guaranteed, which may lead Juanpe to accept the invitation from Beijing Guoan. Born in April 1991, Juanpe plays as a central defender and stands at 1.90 meters tall. He has played for several strong teams in La Liga, including Las Palmas, Racing Santander, Granada, and Valladolid. Since joining Girona in the summer of 2016, he has served the team for 9 seasons. Juanpe is one of the longest-serving players in the current Girona squad, having experienced two promotions with the team and once serving as captain. He also helped the team qualify for the UEFA Champions League. This season, Juanpe made 11 appearances for Girona, starting 9 times, but only started 5 times in the league. His only goal came in the Champions League, where he scored a direct free-kick to help Girona secure a 2-0 victory over Bratislava, marking the team's first win in the competition's history. According to the German "Transfermarkt," Juanpe's latest market value is 900,000 euros. Currently, Beijing Guoan has foreign players such as Fabio, Guga, and Ngadu, and still has…
